Do I need to print my ticket?

No. A mobile ticket on your phone is accepted at the entrance — a screenshot works fine.

My child is under 6 — do I need to do anything in advance?

Children under 6 enter free of charge, but their complimentary ticket must be collected at the on-site ticket office on the day. You cannot obtain this in advance online.

Is there a reduced price for children or seniors?

Reduced-rate tickets for children aged 6–18 and adults aged 65 and over are available directly at the ticket office or automatic vending machines on site.

What happens if the weather is bad on the day?

The castle may close at short notice due to adverse weather conditions. Check locally on the day if conditions look severe, and review the cancellation policy before you travel.

Is there a last-admission time I should know about?

Yes — last admission is 30 minutes before closing time. The ticket office also closes between 12 pm and 1 pm, though automatic vending machines remain available during that period.

Is the castle accessible for visitors with reduced mobility?

The site involves steep, uneven stone paths and steps along the battlements. It is not suitable for wheelchairs and may be challenging for visitors with limited mobility.
